NC Recommendations: Headlights, Upholstery, Mechanic




Long time owner - finally retired and restoring 1988 FC- Convertible.

Looking for any recommendations, you can offer on the following:

Primary Issues:
* Replacing stock dull headlights

* Reupholstery / Seat Covers recommendations

* Replacing passenger side power window motor

* Rotary mechanic in Eastern North Carolina

DYI / non-perfectionist, just looking to keep the faith with this classic car.

Appreciate you all for keeping these cars alive.
Bill

For headlights, you can install install some simple upgrade lights yourself if you're handy with some basic tools. Here's a tutorial

I believe racing beat sells seat upholstery kits, maybe browse their website

As far as a mechanic, I don't live in the area, but i know that Rotorsports Racing in Kannapolis is VERY familiar with these cars
